I as well as my buddies happened to be studying the great solutions found on the website then unexpectedly I got an awful feeling I had not thanked the web blog owner for them. These women happened to be totally warmed to read all of them and now have in actuality been taking advantage of these things. I appreciate you for being really considerate and also for using this form of decent information millions of individuals are really wanting to know about. Our own honest apologies for not saying thanks to you sooner.

I simply needed to thank you so much yet again. I do not know what I could possibly have achieved without the actual hints contributed by you over such concern. It had become a intimidating issue in my opinion, nevertheless witnessing the very specialised form you resolved that forced me to leap over happiness. Extremely happier for the help and then pray you know what a powerful job that you are putting in teaching the rest via your webblog. I’m certain you have never come across any of us.

That’s one case from one company. And that’s Best Buy. I’ve heard that there isn’t even Droid 3 cases yet, so I wouldn’t count this as proof that the other ones were a fake. I’m still clinging to that August 4th date, since August 7th is when the FCC documents are released. And then what? We see the phone no matter what then.

The longer I wait the better Samsung gs2 looks.

Please August 4th! Don’t fail me now Moto/Verizon.

I feel like a kid who has been waiting for the best Lego set in the world. Even shook the box under the tree and heard the pieces rolling around in it….

While I hope for the best, I can’t help but reserve my excitement before I confirm its not just another set of MegaBlocks.

If Verizon does not release the Bionic by Aug 4th, I’m switching to Sprint and getting the Photon. Seriously this is getting so lame for some “super-phone” with specs found on two other current phone.

Oh man, I took the insurance off the droid a few months ago and now the micro usb is dieing on me as of today. I’m really hoping that the Bionic is coming in a week, or else I’m going to have to get a Charge… sad day.

Okay why does Verizon think it is okay to announce phones DAYS before release. Isn’t business heavily reliant on marketing? Hate to say it Verizon but Droid’s are not Iphone’s, they do not sell by name! The only reason I see as to why Verizon/phone manufacturers do this is to not impede on the sales of phones that are released a few months later. I just do not see the point, and in my opinion whoever is in charge of the marketing department is really shooting the sales right in the foot.

In conclusion, if you know when the phone is going to be released then why not announce it?

The reason is the Bionic is coming out maybe Aug 4. The Samsung Galaxy S II may come out a couple days later. They want people to buy on Day 1 and charge for restocking a crappy phone for a new one.

As much as I love my Droid, I will hold off until the end of August. The only reason is to compare the Bionic, SGS2, and iPhone 5. Yes, I said iPhone 5. If Apple pulls off a trump on their release, I am not going to wait 6 months for something to be better than it.

Wtf kind of magic do you think crApple is going to pull out of their hat to make the iPhone so good? You’ve already seen iOS 5 and it’s still inferior with a bunch of copied features. It will have a better camera, a faster processor and maybe more ram/memory and/or a larger screen. Nothing groundbreaking buddy. don’t listen to the hype.

The reason they don’t heavily market Droid phones is because they know they’re not going to sell in the millions and have people lined up to get them. Launching a $100M marketing campaign for one phone that isn’t going to sell is a waste of money. That’s why they make these pitiful announcements a couple days before its released and have like one commercial for the phone. It’s all business.

Anonymous

That 100 million marketing campaign is why the Droid became so popular and sold millions actually.

Geoff

the nfl lockout was resolved before the bionic release date confirmed. #fail #wellplayednfl

Thanks Kellex, there are lots of us that want every piece of Bionic info you come across (good or bad). This is, after all, a DROID site, and that will be the top of the line Droid.

Frstsaxman

this is all ridiculous. if they know when the phone is coming out they should just announce it already and set up the pre order system. I saw the original bionic at CES and I have patiently waiting ever since. I have wanted this phone the whole time but if this phone is released within days of the i*hone with IOS 5 I may have to seriously consider that phone. I got the Moto Xoom when it first came out with all of its short comings and have been waiting forever for the upgrades I was promised upon purchase. I am getting completely sick and tired of the way android products are being handled by the phone manufactures and Verizon.

Niemeyer2010

Did that one guy ever send you a pic of that Bionic poster?

Frstsaxman

one of my friends in class just told me he received a droid bionic add in the mail today though he didnt bring it to class. I dont know if he’s messing with me or not though

Droiiid

…you believed him. you must have an iphone haha

Frstsaxman

nope never had an iphone but just hopeful moto was getting their act together

There’s even a review on a BIONIC case with a guy in UT that has had his BIONIC for a week and his case fits fine, 5 star review.

I guess the moral of the story is when we see MOTOROLA branded cases delayed, then we can get upset. We already saw a bunch of Motorola parts show up on Amazon. Then they were ‘hidden’.

The one at best buy is made by Rocket Fish Mobile (note the part number, then compare it to part numbers on Amazon).

Droiiid

pretttty sure that is the old bionic from ces. guess they won’t be selling many of those lol

Bigsike

This link states that it is for the XT875 that is the new Bionic and the XT865 was the old one 🙂

Droiiid

true but look at the photo…that is definitely the old bionic. how would that case that fits the old bionic in the picture fit the new one too?

OK seriously, this bionic thing is getting stupid on here.. just post when the official release date is from Verizon not every single false rumor or whatever.. im getting one but this is making me sick … my contract is due so just LET US know official dates not hints or assumptions or blurry camera picks or twitter droid drama…

Pnicuh

right on, am with you there.

Anonymous

I know it, i want this phone but i just pray later in the week they will just post the official date with real clear pictures.. they are wasting precious time posting practically nothing.. a post with the official date + pictures and official price is all WE care about on this website at this point now. I hope they read this lol..

Pnicuh

haha hope so

It’s all about him getting hits on his site that is why he posts every little rumor that is on the internet.

Anonymous

ahaha.. i was just thinking about that.. i guess when he finds out that the bionic has qhd indeed he will make a large post about that (which we all know it will or does)..

Anonymous

Ha no the next front page will be…Breaking news the droid bionic is made by moto lmao.

Or it may just be that he wants to provide the rest of us with as much information as possible so we can check it out and decide for ourselves.
If you prefer your news cookie-cutter style, where you’re told what to think and how to think it, check out the i*hone… they’re pretty good at giving people just the stuff they want them to see.

Custom Colonel

What a stupid statement. So rather then being told facts, you prefer to look at blurry pictures and wet your panties imagining what could be. Lemmings.

This is seriously the Thunderbolt debacle all over again. Somebody says the word Verizon, first thing I think is delayed.

I heard that DroidMod will have a Froyo ROM released before the Bionic ships. But I doubt it.

Anonymous

I work at Best Buy and as far as the cases go, they receive everything accessories wise later than the release date, they still havent gotten the droid 3 accessories yet

Anonymous

so you rele shouldnt wrry about when they get the cases

Bigsike

Actually I remember all 3 Verizon stores near me not having cases in stock for my DX for about 2 weeks after I bought mine. 🙂

Legoturte92

Yea when the OG Droid came out by me they didn’t have the docks for it for a few weeks. Or they could of just been selling out.

These posts are getting as exciting and reliable as our leaders in Washington….I am SOOOO done with this….just get it done….release the damn phone….at this point, ANY Bionic they throw at us is NEVER going to live up to this hype….

Anonymous

(sigh) I dont even care anymore :/

Bbrutcher

done…..screw this phone tired of waiting on it! just wait till christmas now and get the next big thing (if they can get that one out in time)!!!

Anonymous

i agree with this waiting its getting a bit silly to be posted everday on this phone, but do remember Moto comes out with cool phones and it seems like every year around july-august time frame… what you will hear this December or Jan will be new moto phones announced for the NEXT summer.. and so on and so on.

Not sure about Best Buy and their release date for anything they claim to have. Look at the Thunderbolt!!

Anonymous

And look at the htc Flyer…it was released a few days ‘before’ the proposed launch date…

Dylan Hageman

Seriously Moto? God will show up before this phone is released.

And that 8/4 screenshot from the indirect retailer has been buried. If that thing turns out to be real, then I’ll allow everyone to shoot me with paintballs.

It’s just so pathetic that someone is out there spending ridiculous amounts of time and energy to try and trick blogs with fake images. Especially when they cook up the story of the century and continue to lie in email exchanges, how can you know? /end rant.

You always do a great job posting accurate stories. Thanks for all your hard work. If only there was an app to kill morons who create fake documents. One can dream…..

And unless it’s from one of our legit sources, we always flag it as a rumor and tell you guys to be skeptical, but it still annoys me.

In the future, don’t trust anything from @apple.com emails. You might be cautious with @VZW.com and @moto.com too. Those who F with Dr. Droid should be forced to use a Droid Eris for life.

you shouldnt really worry about it as to when someone is receiving accessories

Anonymous

Agreed. When I picked up my OG Droid at BB on launch day, there were no cases for it. No accessories either. Just the phone.

Guest

BB not only receives the accy’s after launch, the in-stock date is the date to display iirc.

Anonymous

So what your saying is that they receive accurate information on the accessories and that the instock date is dependant on if they’re dispay is present….then mr guest you know something I don’t bc for the last 3 major realeases between sprint verizon and att have all either seen the acc after the phone release or the acc doesn’t come on dates specified. For instance no bb store had the DROID 3 on release date many stores still have yet to receive it and atleast 10 in my district don’t have the accessories for it…so if what your saying is true and what I’m saying is true what happens when mine says yours is a lie?

Galaxy S II on Verizon August 13th, start the countdown for that and screw this shit
